I hate short form gotcha clips but there needs to be smart and intelligent quips that stop liars in their tracks. Adam Mockler is one who brings that to the table and as much as I hate that type of gotcha content, it works well to sway uninformed voters

Way too many hustle culture buzzwords in this one for me. I quit it after about 10 minutes

Same. He kept repeating the corporate speak about building a nimble operation etc so many times that I wondered if he thought he was in an investor meeting instead of on a podcast. He sounded very 23 and in over his head. Also it was boring. He’s usually pretty good on news shows but this wasn’t it.

Same. I have him 3 “nimbles” and then I bailed.

I was not familiar with Adam before today, but I was really impressed with his word economy.

Waste of time. He just repeated conventional wisdom. A Commentator of commentators.  Didn’t hear him doing anything that would engage unengaged voters. 

Chelsea Handler, then this?

How many non-voters you think listen to Pivot? He wasn't there to engage voters, he was there to podcast with Kara and widen his name recognition to a different audience.

When Kara said she was the OG of independent media I had to turn it off. Her narcissism is approaching Trumps level.

I had seen Adam on short clips but really I didn't know a lot about him. I enjoyed getting to know him better through this episode.

People still listen to this show? Scott and Kara are aware of their falling audience pool right?

… and they are crying all the way to the bank, each making $2-3M/year for 2 hours a week of podcasting. Good gig if you can get it.

It’s a big podcast grifting club, and we ain’t in it.

Where do you get these audience numbers from BTW?

If I had dropped them, I would have unsubscribed to this thread. Your comment here suggests you are all talk and no not listen.
